Sarah Firshein writes: "On a recent afternoon, The New York Times app sent a flurry of notifications about Neil Gorsuch's Supreme Court confirmation, Vox published an interview with an ex-congressman who was caught buying cocaine from an undercover cop, 78 people liked one of my Instagram photos, and SoulCycle pushed out the following alert: 'Clarity. Confidence. Breakthroughs. What are you [eyes emoji] for? FIND IT!'
But from one of the hushed treatment rooms at the Spa at the Mandarin Oriental, New York, I missed out on all that. As therapist Jim Patrick explained the supposed health benefits of shungite, an ancient Russian mineraloid consisting mostly of carbon, my phone bleeped and blooped from the snug confines of a neoprene 'sleeping bag' tucked behind the spa’s reception desk."

Can you remember the first time you noticed them — those fine lines around the eyes? For women, in particular, this is our first area of aging concern. Every year, millions of Americans undergo some sort of rejuvenation treatment for their eyes. And it makes sense &mdas; the eyes are the first place on the face that we all notice and zero in on.
From crow's feet and wrinkles, to puffiness, under-eye bags, dark circles and crepe-like lids, the eyes reveal a lot — fatigue, stress, aging and the list goes on. While the skin around the eye region is more delicate, and certainly comes with its fair share of challenges, it presents an opportunity for esthetic professionals to create the most change.

The rise of mobile hasn't just meant that small businesses create advertisements for the small screen and run campaigns from their smartphones.

This is one central finding from Facebook's March Future of Business Survey, an ongoing study the social network completes with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and World Bank.

 Our inboxes are constantly filled with ways to adjust digital marketing tactics to meet the demands of millennials and Generation Zers, but there's one generation with just as strong spending power that's often left out of the mix: baby boomers. But how you approach boomers in the digital arena isn't a matter of pushing existing marketing campaigns onto their screens.

Merkel cell carcinoma is an uncommon skin tumor with aggressive behavior. Clinically, MCC usually appear as a fast growing red cherry nodule on the leg or face of elderly patients. Dermoscopically, it might reveal a reddish background with arborizing not in focus vessels, a pattern that is rather aspecific. Thus, the final diagnosis is routinely made by histopathologic examination and specific immunohistochemical stainings.

Terry Heick writes: "Lately, I've found myself squinting a bit at some of the practices and structures in teaching and learning.
This squinting is less about efficiency or performance, but rather what effect each piece has — a kind of causal analysis. This is the cause, and it might have this effect.
In trying to imagine what would be different if we did this instead of that, I was surprised at how education has settled on a small handful of models in light of so much possibility. Was it because we've found the magic formula, and in 2017 we're in an era of simple refinement? That we know 'what works,' and now it's all a matter of tweaks?"
